COMMUTER SURPRISE.

November 19, 1989

DENVER — COMMUTER SURPRISE. The 25 riders aboard Louis Cordova's bus got a holiday-season surprise when he stopped in the middle of his run, got out and returned a short while later to pass out three dozen doughnuts. Cordova said his surprise treat Thursday morning wasn't any big deal. ''I didn't give out those doughnuts to get my name in the paper,'' the 45-year-old driver said. ''Simply seeing those smiles on people's faces and knowing that they appreciated it was reward enough.'' Cordova, who has been driving city buses since 1972, often passes out holiday goodies.
